Save the Date... Coming soon to a mailbox to you!

*whew* The Save the Dates are officially in the mail!

What with the ceremony, reception, dress and Save the Dates taking care of, we may now luxuriate on our behinds for a while. Of course, we should be spending some serious time thinking about the honeymoon. Not being big travelers, we have no idea where we will spend our first few days as a married couple. We have a vague idea that it should be relaxing yet have things to do that aren't too terribly touristy. If you have any suggestions, let us know. Oh, and if you happen to run into us, please remind us to get passports! I gather they are kinda important!

Long time...

Yesterday was our 8 year anniversary, which we celebrated by picking up bicycle headlamp pieces off the road in the darkness. Non-traditional, perhaps, but it worked for me (especially since if Andy hadn't shown up, I'd have been walking my bike home in the dark). I think that after our 1st year anniversary (celebrated with an amazing array of red roses followed by an uber romantic dinner at Sherri's) we have always had low key annual celebrations. I suppose now that our anniversaries will revolve around October 18th, 2008, but hopefully we will take time to pick up headlamp pieces or maybe grab a bite of Chinese on the 14th of January. Its been a good date for me for these last 8 years!

Save The Date

Although I love letter pressed invitations, their steep price tag of $800 and up for Save the Dates was simply out of our price range. So we've decided to do the Save the Dates and the invitations ourselves. Armed with some 180 lb paper and a pirated copy of Adobe Illustrator and the laser printers at work (shhhh -- don't tell!), I've come up with a Save the Date card that is hopefully whimsical and fun without being too cheesy. You'll be receiving them sometime towards the middle/end of January. Let me know what you think!

Dress!

My dress has been purchased. I look pretty darn good! And I get to wear feathers in my hair! Sounds bad, but trust me, it'll be good in the long run.

Destination: Brewpub

After much consideration, frustration and eventually giving up and choosing at random (no, not really - we made a logical decision), we have chosen to go with Bridgeport Brewpub as the destination for our reception. For those that haven't been, I hope you will enjoy our local brew product! And, when I DO get stolen, I'd recommend the Rouge Brewery which is a few blocks away. Not that I'm thinking ahead...
